Chapter 54: Those Who Understand the Times Are Wise Men

This boutique hotel located on the commercial street is owned by the family of Shen Andong, a mutual friend of Gu Liyan and Su Poyang.

Originally, the three of them had planned to get together over the weekend to have a drink and, incidentally, discuss Gu Liyan's relationship issues.

However, Su Poyang arrived an hour early, while Gu Liyan came together with Shen Andong.

They had just finished working out at the gym and were covered in sweat, intending to take a shower first in the room Su Poyang had opened.

Then the three of them would go together to the fourth floor of the hotel to have a drink.

The fourth floor of this hotel provides meals for staying guests in the form of a buffet.

Gu Liyan did not know that the bear in front of him at this moment was none other than Zhou Xiaoru, whom Shen Andong had been discussing with him the entire way.

And in his eyes, the two bears in the room at this moment were targets that Su Poyang had summoned for a special transaction!

Shen Andong, standing behind, watched Su Poyang being pinned to the ground by the large bear and teased with interest, arms crossed.

"Oh my, I really didn't see that coming; so Little Su likes this kind of play..."

Today, he really had his eyes opened!

Meanwhile, Su Poyang, lying on the ground, was straining his neck.

He had to quickly tell Gu Liyan that the other bear was Zhou Xiaoru.

But just as he opened his mouth to shout, "Gu Liyan, she is... Ugh... Ugh... Ugh!"

The second half of the name was cut off before it could be shouted out, as the large bear pressing down on his entire body covered his mouth, leaving him only able to make muffled sounds!

This maneuver left the two grown men at the scene stunned once again!

But for some reason, watching this bear abuse Su Poyang in such a way, the two men watching the show had no intention of rescuing him at all.

Especially Gu Liyan; he inexplicably felt very gratified in his heart!

At this moment, Jiang Bufan was on the verge of suffocating this guy; she was about to reach her limit!

Looking at Zhou Xiaoru who was still standing there, she shouted urgently.

"What are you staring at! Hurry up and go!"

Hearing this urgent shout, a certain Xiaoru gave a start and began to move her feet.

At this moment, Gu Liyan had already begun to grow suspicious because of what a certain someone had said earlier.

And the voice he had just heard felt somewhat familiar...

He furrowed his brows; if he had heard correctly, this bear pinned to the ground should be Jiang Bufan!

If Jiang Bufan was here, then this one in front of him...

Thinking of this, a flash of sharp light suddenly crossed the dark eyes of a certain gentleman!

Zhou Xiaoru did not yet know that the man before her had seen through her, and she was preparing to push past the person in front of her to flee the scene quickly.

But when she moved to the left, this guy in front moved to the left; when she moved to the right, this guy moved to the right again!

A certain Xiaoru inside the headgear was already cursing under her breath!

Damn it! He was deliberately making things difficult for her, wasn't he! Then don't blame her for being impolite!

Rubbing her bear fists and wiping her bear paws, she planned to copy that move of Jiang Bufan's and tackle this guy directly.

But...

After she jumped her heavy body and lunged directly at him, she didn't tackle the person down, but instead...

Have you ever seen a bear hanging from a tree in a zoo on TV?

At this moment, she hadn't tackled the person down, but had instead hung herself directly onto a certain gentleman!

Zhou Xiaoru was shocked to the point of being sent to outer space!

Why didn't her maneuver work? Was the operation malfunctioning?!

Damn it! Had she crashed into a rock that had fallen into a latrine!

Not only was it smelly, but it was also very hard!

And a certain gentleman cooperated very well, reaching out his hands to support her body directly.

Zhou Xiaoru couldn't help but have her pupils shrink! She cried out internally, "Oh no!" Had this guy recognized her?!

She hurriedly slapped the person holding her with her bear paws, struggling with all her might.

She just didn't dare to make any sound!

Gu Liyan, however, let her struggle, not letting go with his hands, and a trace of a smile had already appeared in his eyes.

Then, he gently called out the name of a certain bear.

"Xiaoru..."

Shen Andong, standing behind, had originally been wondering why Gu Liyan was getting handsy with a bear.

So it was Zhou Xiaoru!

As soon as Zhou Xiaoru heard him call her name, she was so startled that her movements stopped.

Just at this moment, the handsome Gu let her down and reached out directly to take off the seemingly very heavy headgear on her head.

This revealed the round face beneath the headgear, with a bun hairstyle, covered in sweat, face flushed red, panting, cheeks puffed out, and glaring at a certain man.

As soon as Gu Liyan saw this face, the smile on his face grew even wider.

On the other side, Jiang Bufan, who was still pressing down on Su Poyang, couldn't help but sigh and shake her head upon seeing that Zhou Xiaoru's identity had been exposed.

She knew it; as soon as she encountered the scumbag Gu, Zhou Xiaoru would be finished.

At this moment, the man surnamed Su beneath her saw her relax and suddenly exerted force in a fierce counter-throw!

He directly pinned Jiang Bufan to the ground in return!

With this throw, Jiang Bufan felt as if her old bones were about to crack.

This drama of "Bear Sightings" was declared over with both bears captured by humans.

Su Poyang, having subdued Jiang Bufan, had also pulled off Jiang Bufan's headgear at this moment.

He wanted to see what kind of woman was so bold as to ride on top of him.

Likewise, beneath the headgear was a face flushed red and dripping with sweat.

And the one exhausted and drenched in sweat was also Su Poyang.

He propped himself up on his arms, panting, looking at the person beneath him, then looked at her, and raised his eyes to look at the person standing there.

Then, he speechlessly moved away from Jiang Bufan, sat to one side, and asked.

"I say, you two greenwood heroes, where did I offend you?" To actually dress up as bears to ambush him.

If it weren't for the sake of Gu Liyan, he would have already called the police!

At this moment, Jiang Bufan, who was lying on the ground panting, suddenly pushed Su Poyang away and scrambled up from the floor.

She opened her mouth and spouted nonsense, "We are conducting a social survey report to see how young people today react when encountering sudden situations."

As the words fell, there was a silence in the room, and a crow flew over the heads of the few people...

"Caw... caw... caw..."

Zhou Xiaoru raised her estimation of her good friend's adaptability to a new height once again.

Staying here like this was not a solution.

Zhou Xiaoru snatched the headgear that was being held by that man, then walked over, and without saying a word, pulled Jiang Bufan, preparing to walk out.

Anyway, now they all knew who they were, so there was no need to worry about being exposed or hiding things anymore.

Then they would just retreat openly!

This time, Gu Liyan did not stop her, but as they passed by Gu Liyan's side, they were blocked by another person.

Shen Andong stood in front of the two, smiling brightly as he said.

"You two haven't had dinner yet, right? There is a buffet restaurant on the fourth floor here, how about we go together?"

He knew a thing or two about the grievances between Zhou Xiaoru and Su Poyang.

In the future, if Zhou Xiaoru really became Mrs. Gu, she couldn't always be on bad terms with his own cousin.

And the reason Gu Liyan did not stop them this time was because he knew the person behind him would help him keep them there.

What a clever use of borrowed strength!

But Zhou Xiaoru did not buy their act, and she did not want to make the atmosphere too stiff, so she replied politely.

"Thank you for the invitation, but we have other things to do, so we won't disturb you."

Shen Andong, however, patiently continued his 'attack', "Are you still doing the social survey?"

At this question, the two bears directly fell silent.

Jiang Bufan was even faintly starting to get angry!

How could this person be so annoying and so tactless!

Just like Zhou Xiaoru, Jiang Bufan, who had a fiery temper, asked bluntly without ceremony.

"What, handsome, do you have some good material to provide!"

Three grown men, plus the woman who left earlier, they really knew how to play!

This retort left Shen Andong speechless; it seemed these two girls were not to be trifled with.

At this moment, the black-bellied man had come online.

He turned around and asked Shen Andong, who was opposite him.

"Are the front desk and security of your hotel just for show!"

As soon as these words were out, Su Poyang, who was sitting on the ground, immediately reacted and hurriedly scrambled up from the floor to take over the conversation.

"That's right! I almost forgot because you didn't mention it! How did you know which room I was in? Who told you!"

This question stumped the two bears; they could not betray those two kind front desk clerks.

Jiang Bufan continued to spout nonsense, "We followed you here all the way."

Su Poyang immediately retorted, "Impossible!"

On the other side, Shen Andong had also caught on by now and chimed in.

"It's very simple to find that out; just go to the front desk and pull up the surveillance footage, and you'll know."

As he spoke, he already made a move as if to go out.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaoru became somewhat panicked. At this moment, in her mind, she was still thinking about the sentence Gu Liyan said, 'Are the front desk and security of your hotel just for show!'

Her eyes flashed, and she hurriedly grabbed Shen Andong's arm and asked.

"This hotel... is it yours?!"

Shen Andong still wore a gentle smile and replied.

"This hotel has nothing to do with me; to be precise, it is managed by my father."

The phrase 'it's run by my father', in the eyes of Miss Zhou, was invisible showing off and naked pressure!

As long as the surveillance was checked, everything they did at the front desk would be discovered.

Then, would this Young Master directly fire those two counter sisters?

This was highly likely!

Adhering to the principle of not harming innocent people and causing them to lose their jobs for nothing.

Zhou Xiaoru turned her head to look at her good sister beside her...

The two could not help but communicate with their eyes!

Jiang Bufan, 'What should we do in this situation?'

Zhou Xiaoru, 'We cannot let innocent people be implicated.'

Jiang Bufan, 'Don't worry, the Lord will protect them.'

Zhou Xiaoru, 'The Lord is too busy; right now, it is up to us to save their jobs.'

Jiang Bufan, "How exactly are we going to protect it?"

Zhou Xiaoru, "Those who know the times are heroes."

The three grown men once again witnessed the extraordinary prowess of these two girls.

To have such little cuties in one's life, by one's side—how interesting that must be.

And after the two of them finished their eye contact session, Zhou Xiaoru changed from her previous expressionless look, putting on a polite, smiling expression instead.

She said to that handsome hunk Shen, "Let's go eat together; if we don't go now, the food might all be gone..."

It's a buffet, after all; if you go late, all the good stuff is gone.

This was Zhou Xiaoru's version of "those who know the times are heroes"!
